Vetaphone CEO Frank Eisby has claimed that the Danish company has ‘taken Industry 4.0 to a new level.’

‘Many see integrated display as the end-game,’ Mr Eisby said. ‘We see it as the beginning and have made it available on our iCC7 unit since 2017.

‘On the iCC7 we keep the front page of the display simple, with optional in-depth sophistication that allows the operative to explore more detailed information as required. Our iCC7 logs function and maintenance requirements, with remote analysis via a download tool and USB port.’

As part of its efforts Vetaphone has also looked at parts of the process which aren’t surface treatment. Hardware interface’s such as Profinet are available on Vetaphone equipment and allow centralised set-up and control from the main machine HMI. The company also provides free software advice during implementation of the interface, which with graduated feedback provides the operator with only the information required at that stage – although full details are accessible at any time.

‘Our OEMs need to be sure that our equipment meets their own high standards for reliable performance, which is the reason we have been successful in increasing our global market penetration,’ Mr Eisby finished.
